She and some volunteers likely will continue that through this weekend, making preliminary local caucus results available on Monday. Precinct chairs must turn in results to county party officials by today. About 70 percent were in by Thursday afternoon, Reeves said.

&quot;We're just starting to go through and find all the discrepancies and get them ready for committee,&quot; Reeves said.

That group, called the Credentials Committee, will be appointed next week and sort through any problems before the county convention March 29. Most problems, such as misallocation of delegates, can be fixed by switching one candidate's delegate with the other's alternate, Reeves said.

Delegates were allocated and elected Tuesday night in about 8,300 precincts statewide, including 126 in Nueces County. Convention, or caucus, turnout statewide could exceed 1 million voters, compared with the usual few thousand. The state party has been tabulating results, though delegates to the national convention -- those that count for the candidates -- won't be official until the state convention in June.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton led in the county's unofficial precinct delegate total 440 to 149 for Sen. Barack Obama with 40 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Texas Democratic Party. Statewide, though, Obama led 23,570 to 18,481.

Caucus delegates will be whittled down to 67 for the national convention through the party's complicated county and state convention system. Precinct delegates elected Tuesday night declared their candidate preference at the caucus, but party rules do not bind them to that choice.

Tuesday's primaries decided 126 delegates, and 35 Texas delegates are superdelegates, not bound by voters' choices. Of the 126, Clinton won 65 and Obama 61.
